BSC Young Boys
YB TV Second Screen

As only a limited number of fans were allowed in the stadium for a while during the Corona pandemic, we developed a new format for the BSC Young Boys home games within three weeks. The YB TV Second Screen – a first in Swiss club football.

The Concept.

The YB TV Second Screen provided extensive coverage of the action at the Wankdorf stadium before, during and after the match, offering exclusive insights beyond the scope of the usual TV broadcast. The in-house fan radio “Radio Gelb-Schwarz” analyzed and commented on the match, discussions were held with exciting studio guests, emotions from the players’ and coaches’ bench and the atmosphere in the stadium were captured, exclusive video reports with statements and background information from the team were provided, the match highlights were played with a time delay and the press conference was broadcast live. The broadcast started 30 minutes before the start of the match and ended after the press conference. The whole spectacle was free of charge for all YB fans and available on YouTube via YB TV at all home matches until the end of the 2019/20 season. Thanks to our modern and mobile control room, we were able to effortlessly orchestrate the more than 30 elements and cameras of the broadcast and distribute it to the digital channels.

«The current situation requires special measures. The ‘YB-TV Second Screen’ is a novelty in Swiss club football and gives fans the opportunity to be close to the team and the action despite ghost matches.»
